LACE INSET STRING BIKINI TOP

The lace inset is the reason I bought this and it did not disappoint — the French lace trim feels genuinely soft, not scratchy like some other bikini tops I've tried. The Italian swim jersey has a nice sleek feel and the fit stayed put through a whole afternoon at the pool.

The adjustable ties actually stay put in the water, which I wasn't expecting from a string top. The Italian jersey feels thicker than my old swimsuit and the lace inset adds just enough detail without being fussy.

I was worried the lace trim would feel scratchy against my skin, but it's actually soft. The adjustable ties let me get the fit just right, and it stayed put through a whole afternoon of swimming.
